Book LTI InspectionLifting tackle inspection is a critical part of workplace safety and lifting equipment compliance. Damaged, overloaded, incorrectly used or untraceable lifting tackle can lead to dropped loads, serious injuries, production downtime, failed audits and expensive equipment damage.
Our LTI service helps businesses keep lifting equipment safe, documented and traceable. We inspect, identify, tag, record and report on lifting gear used in factories, workshops, warehouses, mines, construction sites, engineering facilities and heavy industrial operations.
Identify unsafe lifting tackle before it causes accidents, injuries or dropped loads.
Keep inspection reports, registers and equipment history properly documented.
Support your safety audits, legal files and internal lifting equipment controls.
Lifting tackle works hard every day. Slings are dragged across steel edges, hooks are overloaded, shackles are used incorrectly, chain blocks are exposed to harsh environments and identification tags become damaged or unreadable.
A proper lifting tackle inspection helps remove unsafe equipment from service and gives management a clear view of what is compliant, what needs replacement and what requires urgent attention.
Our lifting tackle inspection service covers loose lifting gear and lifting accessories used in manufacturing, engineering, construction, logistics, mining and industrial operations.
Real inspections often reveal defects that are missed during daily use. These issues can become dangerous when lifting gear is placed under load.
Stretched chain links, twisted chains, corrosion, cracks and overload damage.
Hook throat opening, missing safety latches, deformation and load point wear.
Unreadable tags, missing WLL markings and lifting gear with no traceability.
Cut webbing, chemical damage, heat damage, stitching failure and broken strands.
Incorrect welding, grinding, bending, modifications and unapproved repairs.
